Saturday, October 5, 2024 We had the day free – no rehearsals, shows, or obligations. It was 80 degrees again, so we prioritized being in the pool in the mid afternoon. We crafted in the morning to finish our project. After swimming, Keith decided that the patio door in the basement needed to be fixed. […]

Friday, October 4, 2024 When we saw the musical Rent for the first time in the late 1990s, I didn’t like it. There weren’t any characters that I liked or that I could root for. I think. That is what I remember thinking, but my memory is completely unreliable, so really, who knows? We went

Thursday, October 3, 2024 I just realized that I wrote the wrong date on attendance all day today at school. I guess they have it done for tomorrow now. Keith was up half the night with tooth agony and he went to the dentist first thing in the morning. They put in a temporary filling

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 It wasn’t the best part of the concert (we’ll get to that), but it’s the song that is going and going in my head (it was definitely good). After Hours Big Band had a concert in Spring Lake Park tonight. They played a Christmas concert on their series last year and

Tuesday, October 1, 2024 I got my covid vaccine last night. I started the day out with a bit of a fever and achy elbows. That seemed fine, but it progressed to more fever and achy everywhere and feeling bad. Small price to pay for vaccine protection. Keith made dinner. The tinfoil potatoes were great.

Monday, September 30, 2024 Carla arrived with a prize in hand! Remember when we bought countries of the world stickers for the church fall festival? It doesn’t matter if you do. I loved the stickers. Carla and the church ladies put together a world traveler basket with several books on great places to visit and

Sunday, September 29, 2024 It was 80something degrees all week long and I hardly got a chance to be in the pool because work (never work in September!!). We spent a ton of time floating in the sun, then a bunch of time swimming in the dark tonight. The weather will be good tomorrow –

Saturday, September 28, 2024 According to the little sign nailed to the tree, the house next door is for sale. It’s a rambler (as they say in Minnesota) (one level) but it does have a finished walk out basement. We could be old people who don’t like steps and live next door. Maren has been

Friday, September 27. 2024 For the second night in a row, we were pleasantly surprised how good the show we saw was. That sounds like we have bad attitudes (baditudes), but that is not the case. Both nights the shows were so interesting and creative we had no idea what we were in for and

Thursday, September 26, 2024 We went to Lyric Arts’ opening show of the season, Peter and the Starcatcher, tonight. It was so well done. The show is intentionally anachronistic, and hilariously so. It’s a Peter Pan origin story. It is so cleverly written and staged that every bit of it keeps you on your toes
